I decided that what I would do is to basically eat a healthy type breakfast which would be cerial or toast. I would have a fairly light lunch, such as a sandwich, however for my evening meal I could eat whatever I wanted. The main thing and most difficult to implement would be fact that I would be no longer eating between meals. The snacks had to go!. I am not trying to say that this was easy to do, however I had a need and was determined to lose weight.

For exercise I decided to leave car at home, wherever possible, and walk to more places. I also started taking my children to park more often. At park we would play games such as football, cricket and baseball. It is amazing how much weight you can lose by having fun.

These things in time helped me to lose a lot of my excess weight.

What about junk-food eaters? I consider junk food to be greasy foods, white breads, pastries, candy, sugar products, potato chips, soft drinks, and list could go on and on. The more things you violate in your diet, more likely you are to get hit with one or more diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, etc. Also, more likely you are to just plain feel bad, lack energy or get frequent colds.

So, when something happens, you go to doctor, who may prescribe something to make you feel better. However, you still need to take control of your own health in order to prevent more things from happening to you in future!

Here are some suggestions: 1.Eliminate most of “junk” food. 2.Make sure you eat plenty of fruits and vegetables everyday. 3.Drink plenty of water, preferably filtered. 4.If you are not having daily bowel movements, add a fiber product. Drinking plenty of water with fiber will help prevent constipation. 5.Take high quality vitamin and mineral supplements. 6.Exercise. 7.Detoxify. The previous points will help body to detoxify. However, you may need additional detoxification to rid body of toxins that have built-up over years.

One word of caution. Don’t make major changes all at once! That’s too hard on your body. In fact, if you can locate a naturopathic physician or a good nutritionist in your area, it would probably be wise of you to consult with that person before undergoing serious dietary changes.

To summarize main point in this article: more you take responsibility for your own health, better chance you have to stay healthy and not be a victim of any diseases or illnesses.
